Doing some research on those old pre WWI and WWI era USN Cage Mast ships, was hoping some folks could shed some light on pics of UTAH, WYOMING, FLORIDA, CONNECTICUT, ARIZONA, NEVADA, ARKANSAS, NEW MEXICO, etc....please if you would.

The following link will take you to the library of congress photo section. http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/pphome.html Search the BAIN, HARRIS & EWING and NATIONAL PHOTO COMPANY collections. Search for "U.S.S." and you will find several dozen very high resolutiuon photos of US pre dreadnought and early dreadnought battleships, all with cage masts. Photos date from around 1908 to 1919.
